WELL GERM I'LL HAVE TO CHECK AND SEEWHAT THE LENGTHS OF MINE ARE LATER TODAY IF I GET TIME AND POST IT BACK FOR YOU. I THINK YOU SHOULD PM KEVIN ON ELITE'S FORUM AND ASK HIM DIRECT QUESTIONS, I HAD A FEW I ASKED HIM, AND HE RESPONDED BUT IT TOOK AWHILE. ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR ELITE THAT I CAN'T SAY ABOUT OTHER BOW COMPANYS, HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SPOKE TO THE OWNER...EVERYTHING IS SO BIG BUSINESS NOW. I REALLY LIKE MY GTO. I THINK ELITE IS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEY SEEM TO IMPROVE THERE DESIGNS EACH YEAR. LAST YEARS ENVY WAS A NICE BOW BUT HAD A GOOD BIT OF HAND SHOCK, THIS YEAR THE GTO DOESN'T. I THINK USING NEALY STRINGS WAS A BAD IDEA, BUT NOT EVERYONE IS HAVING PROBLEMS. THE FEW GUYS THAT HAD ISSUES SEEMED TO GET IT FIX FAST BY ELITE. I HOPE THEY DO WELL. I HOPE IN 10 YEARS THERE ARE A TON OF NEW BOW COMPANYS. MORE THAT ARE OUT THERE, PUTS PRESSURE ON THE OTHERS TO KEEP IMPROVING. WHICH IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE. I DO AGREE THAT ELITE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE STRING ISSUE MORE OPENLY, AND ALSO HAVE BETTER QUALITY CONTROL IN THE FUTURE.
